This year, all Chevrolets sported the all-steel “Turret Top” bodies that General Motors had pioneered, and the cars adopted fully streamlined styling in the late 1930s vogue. Chevrolets for 1936 also featured, for the first time, hydraulic brakes, a great improvement over earlier mechanical styles, and a 14-gallon fuel tank, which allowed for an increased driving range, for the long-distance trips that were beginning to become popular as Americans discovered their country.
The Standard Town Sedan offered here has travelled 1,200 miles since receiving a body-off restoration. The paint has been finished in Regent Maroon with a tan cloth interior. Also equipped are the original radio, driving lights, turn signals and matching painted wheels with whitewall tires. The engine is a 216-cid straight-six cylinder engine with a manual three-speed transmission.
